Matthews, Gray, Sherman could follow

I tweeted earlier today about the possibility of former Titans offensive lineman Bruce Matthews joining Mike Munchak’s staff with the Titans.

Matthews is currently on the staff of the Houston Texans. I expect him to make the jump to the Titans, despite the fact he agreed to a new deal recently with the Texans.

Matthews might not serve as offensive line coach with the Titans immediately, however, but I could see him assisting in some capacity. Matthews retired from the Titans in 2001, and is best friends with Munchak. His son, Kevin Matthews, just finished his first season with the Titans.

Also, expect Munchak to try and lure another coach from his past as his as defensive coordinator — Jerry Gray, who also recently accepted a job with the Texas Longhorns.

Gray and Munchak formerly coached together on the same staff with the Titans. He’s a former defensive coordinator with the Buffalo Bills. Gray’s holding the cards here. The question isn’t whether Munchak wants him, instead it’s whether Gray would leave Texas.

Another coach he’ll consider, and I mentioned this last week — Ray Sherman. He’s also a candidate for a job on the staff. Sherman previously worked as receivers coach under Coach Jeff Fisher. He coached last season with the Cowboys.
